Emerald Forest Cabins & RV

We did not stay here. We drove through the park looking for a suitable tent site. We could have made do with one of the ten unlevel (also mentioned in a previous review) sites available, but when factoring in the charge for showers, we declined on principle. (For $42, showers should be included in a private campground!) The campground photos and reviews seem to emphasize the cabins, which look quite nice. It also appears the camp host likes to respond to the good reviews, not the bad ones, like the person who lost money using the shower. Glad we moved on.

My family spent four days and three nights at the Emerald Forest in Trinidad. The electrical and water hook ups were satisfactory. However, our stay there was less than satisfactory. What was most upsetting was how loud our campsite was. There was lots of noise pollution from the 101 highway. They told us that it would be a little loud, but we were woken up multiple times throughout the night by big trucks. However, what was most upsetting was that The staff would not return money that was used for showering to the amount of $1.50 because the showers would not automatically turn on. Each shower is $.50 for five minutes. we alerted the staff that our quarters did not produce water on multiple showers and we were not reimbursed the money. They stated that they would turn it into maintenance. This to me is unsatisfactory because if your money is taken without you receiving a good in return, that is theft. The campsite is clean and well kept however, I would not recommend it if you are looking to have a peaceful and tranquil night sleep after a clean shower.

This place was pretty great! We loved the beautiful trees, the park was quiet, the staff was really helpful, and the onsite store is great! The only drawbacks were that there was a road right behind our camp spot so we heard the traffic noise. There's not a ton of traffic so it wasn't awful but was enough that I should mention it. The only other drawback was the showers. They are coin operated. With 4 of us camping it was a little bit of a pain to make sure we had enough change to get clean. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to soon!

If you are planning to visit the Redwoods please make a stop at the cabins at the Emerald Forest Cabins and RV Park. They are plopped right in the middle of a Grover redwoods and it's the most unbelievably peaceful place you ever want to wake up to. All the best things about camping without being cold or not being able to read the refrigerator at night, LOL! I'm definitely coming back and bringing family. Oh yeah, did I mention the ocean/beach was about 5 minutes away? Seriously, we had no idea! Trinidad Beach has calm beach on one side of a mountain (ok, hill - I'm from Colorado) and ocean waves on the other. Honestly it's one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I can't wait to go back.

Website stated laundry service, but none provided. This is my only complaint. Bungalow was very cute with Fireplace. Loved the claw foot bath tub. Shower was high on a pedestal, appreciated the step stool. Plenty of hot water. Soap dispensers awkward to reach from shower. Kitchen set up was great, with ample coffee. Cute front porch and small porch in back. No closets or drawers. Not a problem for one night stay. Plenty of Redwood trees surrounding the cabins. Check in very friendly. Great location.

Beautiful place. Unique setting in a redwood forest. The cabins are cozy, comfortable, clean, well stocked with everything you need for a great stay. Nice little touches with nice toiletries, well equipped kitchen and even wine glasses. Well situated, close to Redwood national and state parks and close to the ocean. Most enjoyable stay.

Awesome cabin nestled in a gorgeous redwood forest. It was so cozy for a visit to the redwoods in February. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with dishes and supplies so we could cook. Trinidad is a cute tiny town and you're only minutes away from a grocery store and a couple restaurants. About 20+ min to the parks. Super convenient! Would highly recommend

Absolutely wonderful! Perfect for kids to run around on trails or ride bikes around the circles, trees to protect you from the harsh Sun or the cold wind, and so many fine folks as as your neighbors when it's busy and yet so many spots to have space for yourself if you need it to be calm and peaceful. It's hard to imagine a better spot to camp and enjoy the local Giants.

The staff was helpful, the location is easy to access, not to mention beautiful. There wasn't anything fancy about the cabins, but they are comfortable. If you come to the area, you should be spending most of your time in the available forests and beaches anyway. I was traveling with my wife and boys and everyone enjoyed the cabin. I will say, both my wife and I could smell cannabis smoke in our cabin, more prominently in the evening. I have nothing against the use, but was put off a bit by the smell, and that is why I am giving 4 stars. I know that this area is a destination for the product, so we accepted it for what it is. I'm not sure if the smell was lingering in the bedding and/or mattress, or if a neighbor was smoking. It is hard to fault the Emerald Forest Cabins for this minor issue, but I must be honest. For what it is worth, we had family stay in other units and I didn't hear of the same complaint from anyone else. All in all, I would stay there again.

This is the most beautiful campground we have ever been to! Right in the heart of Redwood trees and 1 minute from the coast. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the cabin was sparkling clean and very comfortable. The office has a small shop to purchase anything you forgot and they have a fire pit area. My husband and kids were excited to see that they had an arcade with fun games and pinball. They were impressed to see that the arcade was well taken care of and all the games worked well. I would definitely recommend Emerald Forest cabins and we look forward to coming back soon.
